Jamey Johnson – Sober (Guitar)

           E
I've been mad

                                       F#7
I've been so high I can't tell up from down

     A7
But lately I've been working

    B7                                E         E
On trying to get my feet back on the ground

         E
It ain't easy on the wagon

                                         F#7
Hell I lost more of my mind than I have found

           A7
All these drinking songs we're playing

         B7                         E     E7
Make it hard staying sober in this town

            E
I'd take a paycheck and I'd turn it

                                              F#7
To a sack of weed and I'd burn it straight to hell

     A7
I'd drink a beer joint dry

              B7                         E        E
And then the next day I'm right back at the well

        E
If the body is a temple

                                             F#7
I worked hard to keep the steeple spinning 'round

         A7
Then one day I heard the preacher say

           B7                         E       E
Lord it's hard staying sober in this town

        E
Lord I pray for the courage

                                    F#7
To greet the hardened faces with a smile

            A7
They don't notice any difference

           B7                            E              E
But then again I guess forgiveness just takes a while

              E
Would you believe He'd give a sinner

     F#7
How sweet that sound

               A7
But it's been hell crossing over

         B7                         E     E
It's so hard staying sober in this town

         F#m7
And the hardest part ain't over

         F
It's so hard staying sober

         E
In this town
